The Physics of Consciousness: Quantum Minds and the Meaning of Life

For decades, neuroscientists, psychologists, and an army of brain researchers have been struggling, in vain, to explain the phenomenon of consciousness. Now there is a clear trail to the answer, and it leads through the dense jungle of quantum physics, Zen, and subjective experience, and arrives at an unexpected destination.In this tour-de-force of scientific investigation, Evan Harris Walker, a pioneer in the science of consciousness, describes the outcome of his fifty-year search for the true nature of reality. Drawing on a deep knowledge of quantum physics and Zen philosophy, Walker shows how the operation of bizarre yet actual properties of elementary particles support a new and exciting theory of reality, based on the principles of quantum physics; a theory that answers questions such as “What is the nature of consciousness, of will?” “What is the source of material reality?” and “What is God?”Clearly written in non-technical, lyrical prose, The Physics of Consciousness is more than just the explanation of a science—it is a new vision of life.

Review: The Physics Of Consciousness: The Quantum Mind And The Meaning Of Life

User Review - Roberta Grimes - Goodreads

Evan Harris Walker is a physicist who is said to have been the founder of the modern science of consciousness research. He tries to simplify the physics, but his book can be a tough slog in spots. Still, I loved every mind-bending minute of it.Read full review
